Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 173

'Even if she is a glutton, she wouldn't sacrifice her dignity—'

"It's a good idea."

"I'm sorry, what?"

"It's a duel with equal exchange. I get what I want, and they get what they want."

Her face said she wasn't ashamed.

If anything, she looked proud.

"You'll make the bet with Neo?" Ophelia interjected.

Morrigan nodded after thinking for a bit.

"We can do that."

Neo was shocked.

His surprise only increased when Ophelia gave him a thumbs-up below the table, hidden from Morrigan's eyes.

'Did she just trick Morrigan so that I could have her join my team?'

Neo stared at the rabbit-like innocent face of Ophelia.

He decided to be on his toes around her.

Shifting his focus, he turned to Morrigan.

"What kind of duel will we have?"

"Food duel. We'll decide the winner by who can eat more.

"If you win, I'll join your team. If I win, you'll pay for everything we ate."

"Who will pay if you lose?"

Ophelia spoke before Morrigan,

"Since today is my treat, I'll pay for the food.

"You two can have a duel without worrying about the cost."

"Thank you, senior."

Morrigan stared at Ophelia with respect and admiration.

Neo, on the side, was almost unable to watch how na?ve Morrigan was.

He shook his head.

'I should be thankful to Ophelia.'

'Morrigan is now talking to me at least.'

"What should we order?"

"Dessert." Morrigan licked her lips. "Pancakes."

They ordered five pancakes each.

Both of them finished it in a few seconds.

As a demigod, they had high metabolism.

The normal dishes could not fulfill their nutritional needs.

The pancakes were normal; hence, they could eat dozens without feeling anything.

It took Neo three rounds of orders to start feeling stuffy.

Morrigan looked at him with a smug gaze.

She continued to eat pancakes like she was drinking water.

'No way I can win against that.'

Neo was beginning to feel bloated.

'But I'm not giving up.'

He used Darkness inside his mouth to devour the pancakes.

Morrigan noticed it easily.

Instead of complaining, she used her physical strength to squeeze pancakes into mini-sized balls and ate them.

Their 'duel' attracted a lot of attention.

It wasn't long before the cafeteria was filled with cheering and shouts.

Most of them were supporting Morrigan, since in their eyes Neo was cheating a bit too much by using Darkness.

Neo noticed Felix, Arthur, Jack, Mars, and Nathan in the crowd.

Jack, on the verge of tears, was rolling while laughing his heart out.

Felix was recording his video.

It was their future blackmail material.

Neo ignored them.

It didn't take long for Neo to notice something was amiss.

At the rate they were going, he felt Morrigan might outlast him.

'How the hell is she doing that?'

Neo spread his senses and focused.

He noticed Morrigan's Lightning elemental energy spiking up every few seconds.

He understood what was happening.

'This crazy glutton….'

Morrigan was tasting the pancake, now mini-sized balls, and using the Lightning inside her mouth to disintegrate them before they reached her stomach.

She was cheating just as much as him!

The students cheered for them.

"Morrigan!"

"Morrigan!"
